Beautifully done! I'm going to pull some inspiration from how you've organized this and will apply it to my own situation. I live in the US, where our fridges are much bigger, but I have a studio apartment (320 sq ft), which includes a pretty small fridge by US standards, but is still almost twice the size of yours. Regardless of size, the principles are the same, so some of your methods will translate to my situation, and I thank you for that. If I may, I would like to return the favor and make a couple of suggestions for you to consider for fine-tuning your organizing. The biggest problem with ANY fridge is line-of-sight; anything we can't see gets forgotten and can go bad. In my case, my fridge is too deep, so things get obscured, and I have settled on finding trays of varying widths but as deep as my fridge to put other containers in; when I pull out the tray, I can see the condition of everything in that tray. Your fridge isn't as deep as mine, but it does sit well above your head. I would suggest you move the top self to the highest placement and fill it with the bottles currently sitting just above your crisper drawers. You'll be able to see and grab the bottles whether you leave them laying down or stand them up. You can then move the middle shelf up one level and then all your food containers can be relocated below the bottle shelf. You'll have better line-of-sight with the food in those containers and have fresher use of them. Just a suggestion.
I really appreciate that you have a smaller refrigerator (by US standards). I find that it’s easier to adapt my vision to the inspiration you’ve provided. Also your use of the IKEA containers is a huge bonus (good quality for less $$$). Thank you!
@@mina_d YES! IKEA has experienced the ultimate glow-up. They elevated from the 1st apartment “go-to” (sturdy but basic) to affordable, eco-friendly, elegance. 🥰
Hi Mina! Hello from Texas! I love seeing how people in other countries organize their spaces. I was curious why you lay your bottles down? Just a thought, since you moved the top shelf up a notch, maybe store the water, ketchup, mayo, and other bottles upright on the 2nd shelf and then put the stuff on the 2nd shelf on the bottom? If they are too tall, you can raise the top shelf another notch and then store stuff that is in the acrylic container there so you can just pull it down get to the stuff in the back. Love the glass containers with lids! They look so pretty! Keep it up!!
Hi Melissa! I actually never thought to put the bottles on the second shelf but I just tested it out and OMG it makes such a difference! Thanks for the tip xx

Yay! Can’t wait to see what your new and organised space looks like
Hi Mina! New friend here! You got so many containers. Love it!
Hi Mary! You can never have too many containers 😂 ….thank you xx
Hello Mina. New subscriber here. Let’s stay connected. I wish I could be organized. I do it for a day or two then it’s throw in and go. Lol.
I think the fridge is the hardest to keep organised but you’ve got this xx
